I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 493 The Limits of the Personal Illusion Tower, But Not Mina's Limits
Selling keystones?
What nonsense are you spouting?

Even Ansana was getting a little angry.

Even after leaving the party venue, they remained dissatisfied.

"What kind of welcome party is this?!"

"Why are you making us sell keystones?"

"This is infuriating! Are we the kind of people who need money to sell keystones?!"

Miss Ansana was very unhappy.

Yes, she is currently short of money to buy top-grade divine stones.

But so what?!

How did it become that they couldn't handle the Challenge Keystone?
Why can't they use keystones to earn money and buy them themselves?

And it's only 200,000.

Are there many?
Who are you trying to fool?

Knowing how precious the Challenge Keystone is, why give it only 200,000?

She might consider it if it were two million, no, twenty million!

You have the nerve to say 200,000?!
Is this what you call market price?
snort!
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore."

Lucia offered quiet words of comfort, while Mina looked at Ansana, whose face had puffed up like a steamed bun.

He rarely saw Ansana angry.

"Mina!"

Ansana suddenly said.

"How to say?"

"I've decided, we're going to use the Challenge Keystone!"

Mina's lips curled into a smile.

"When?"

"Let's see if we can get another one this month! If we do, we'll use the keystones we have ahead of schedule! If not, we'll use them at the end of the month!"

Ansana said directly.

Lucia immediately raised her hand: "I second that."

Mi Xiaohu darted from Mina's arms into Ansana's, raising all seven of her tails high.

"Squeak squeak~" I agree! I agree!
Mi Xiaohu now feels very strong. She feels that she can easily push through a second or even third level of a personal illusion tower.

Maybe there's a chance on the fourth floor too.

She could also clearly hear what the Senanhill people were saying.

What do you mean, "You can't grasp it now"?

"The second floor might not be suitable for you."

"It's best to let it settle in one layer."

Even Mi Xiaohu was angered by such words.

Let me tell you, is it really that hard to get to the second floor?
Mina laughed.

"Then let's get ready."

The Mina team happily decided that they would use the Challenge Key Stone to challenge the Tower of Miracles in twenty-seven days.

But then a problem arose.

Unlike quest-based level progression, Challenge Keystones allow you to directly customize the level.

In other words, Mina can challenge the illusions on the second floor, as well as the third, fourth, and even fifth floors.

So, which level should we challenge?

Never mind, let's try the individual Tower of Fantasy first and see how many points we get.

The next morning, Mina and her two companions set off on time, heading directly to the teleportation plaza.

From here, you can go directly to the Tower of Miracles for just ten virtual points.

"Void nodes are still convenient."

As Ansana walked out of the small square near the Tower of Miracles, she was filled with emotion.

The first time she and Lucia traversed the Void Node passage of the Void Tower, it was incredibly difficult for them.

But this time it's better, it feels... quite relaxing.

At least I can now walk through void nodes independently...

The small square in the void node where the group appeared this time is not the same area as the small square where they were taken during their first challenge against Olivia.

This place is more like a supply camp standing at the foot of the Tower of Miracles.

A large number of Void Apostles are resting here, preparing for the challenge.

Most of them are on the first floor, but they are all located in the outer area of ​​the camp.

Meanwhile, the shops in the core area sell all sorts of exquisite little supplies... I've heard there's even a black market, where some forbidden items that can't be sold in the Void City are sold, like keystones.

Unfortunately, Mina is a newcomer and only has one level of status.

"Tsk, why does everything have to be on the second floor?"

Mina was speechless. Is the first floor really that discriminated against?

Yes, that's true.

That's just how the Void Tower is.

The first floor is the bottom edge of the Void Tower.

Many people yearn for the Void Tower, but for the natives of the Void Tower and the "big shots" at the top, the first floor is the lowest level.

The very bottom layer... never mind.

Mina didn't dwell on these things, and the three of them arrived at the teleportation camp together.

Here, Mina found the Void Tower's office, registered for the challenge, and was quickly assigned a room.

Those are individual void nodes, which are also the nodes through which one can teleport into the Tower of Miracles.

"I am in 1-5-6"

"My 1-78-21 is here."

The three of them are going to challenge the individual illusion tower on the first floor, and they are assigned to different rooms.

So, next, we'll see how their scores are calculated.

Clearing customs?

With the combined strength of the three, clearing the Tower of Illusion individually is quite easy; it all comes down to who gets the higher score.

"Let's go, little fox."

"Squeak squeak".

"Hmmmmmm~"

Little Mengmeng perched on Mina's head, sprang up, and set off.

As soon as the personal Phantom Tower Stone was placed into the slot, a portal immediately lit up in front of Mina.

"gone."

Mina gently patted Mi Xiaohu, then stepped inside while holding Xiao Mengmeng in her arms.

The changing light and shadow before my eyes.

Mina appeared near a volcano.

hum.

The emblem vibrates; it is an emblem of emptiness.

Mina quickly saw the notification pop up from the emblem.

"Volcano Challenge": Inside the scorching volcano dwell terrifying monsters. Defeat the monsters and prevent the volcano from erupting.

"This is a relatively simple standard challenge."

"Is it to stop that volcano from erupting?"

Mina stroked her chin; this was getting interesting.
With a sway of her body and a surge of wind, Mina carried the three little ones towards the volcano.

The closer one gets to the volcano, the more one can feel its oppressive power. Large groups of monsters that inhabit the vicinity of the volcano have taken notice of Mina.

Some of these monsters are slug-like creatures, while others are mushrooms floating in lava.

They stretched out in a line, like a giant whole, putting pressure on Mina.

Although each individual is not very strong, when they are grouped together, even those at the limit of the Heavenly Realm would have to be wary.

Komina, however, was delighted. Perfect timing! He had just learned the fourth level of Magic Pressure, so he might as well give it a try.

With a sway, terrifying magical power erupted from Mina's body.

These magical powers acted as a catalyst, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. Within a few breaths, this power reached the strength of the celestial realm, and could become even stronger.

even……

Comparable to starlight!

boom!
The oppressive force poured down, boom boom boom!

The molten lava monsters below were dumbfounded. What was that thing up there?
Is this starlight?

Before they could react, a terrifying pressure swept over them.

Mina still felt unsatisfied and should be stronger. It would be even better if he had a Dragon's Might at this time, but unfortunately his Dragon type was not yet fully developed.

Boom boom boom!
In just a few dozen breaths, the monsters in the volcano were suppressed by Mina's magical pressure.

The gap in strength between the two sides is simply too great.

Moreover, the difficulty of the first level of the Human Tower is far inferior to that of the Group Survival Challenge.

That's roughly equivalent to the combat power of the previous waves.

The strongest of them all is the strongest boss in this volcano, which is only close to the limit of the Heavenly Realm.

Mina only needs to exert a little force.

A multi-stage meteor shower was unleashed.

It evaporated completely, along with the volcano.

If we evaporate the entire volcano, we won't have to worry about volcanic eruptions anymore, right?

Mina's emblem lights up.

The points skyrocketed, quickly reaching over 2,700.

This means that Mina's points are at least enough to guarantee a minimum.

But not enough.

After about ten minutes, the three little guys cleared out the remaining fish that had slipped through the net, and Mina's final score was 2964.

Ok……

This score is already quite good.

Mina now understands to some extent that, barring unforeseen circumstances, even if she clears the game, there's a very high chance she won't reach 3,000 points.

2964 is almost the maximum score for a normal completion.

However, after experiencing the previous survival challenge and the final hidden rhinoceros, Mina felt that the Miracle Tower challenge, even if it was an individual challenge, should not end there.

Of course, if the emblem is activated at this time, Mina can open a void channel to return to the node.

Mina's first solo Tower of Fantasy adventure thus came to an end.

But how could Mina be satisfied with just over 2,900 points?

I don't know how Ansana is doing, but one thing is for sure: if it were Lucia, she would never give up so easily.

He took out the Guangguang Express he had prepared beforehand. This was a special version; the tip of the Guangguang Express was much tougher, and it even gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

Mina aimed the light beam at the original site of the volcano and launched it directly.

Terrifying flames ignited at the tail of the Light Express, while the activating water and wind shield, which fueled the combustion, pushed the Light Express to its maximum speed.

A powerful swirling airflow forms at the tip of the light-speed delivery vehicle, resulting in excellent drilling performance and breaking through the heavy ground.

That was deeper, magma buried deep underground, which surged with strange magical energy upon contact with the light.

It was indeed different; Mina's eyes lit up.

He said, "Something's not right with this volcano!"
There's no logic in a volcano simply being destroyed and the lava flow obediently ceasing.

Even when it erupts, it symbolizes spraying.

But that feeling...

boom!
A burst of light ignited, sending large amounts of volcanic rock flying.

Sparks filled the sky, melting lava.

At this moment, it felt as if the entire earth was about to awaken.

A powerful surge of magic shot into the sky.

The power of the earth, the power of fire.

They have all exceeded the limits of the Heavenly Realm, and have actually reached the level of half-step Star Radiance!
Mina's eyes lit up.

See? We've found the hidden boss!
It was a colossal creature over seventy meters long; just standing there, one could feel its immense oppressive power.

Mina's breath hitched. This behemoth was comparable to Star Power, even if it was only at the half-step Star Power level.

"Those slugs just now, they felt like the fleas of this monster."

Mina smacked her lips, but became even more excited.

Directly mobilize the magical pressure and continue the oppression.

"Hoohoho!"

Mina's actions thoroughly enraged the enormous creature below.

It was a creature resembling a tortoise, or perhaps a camel, that opened its eyes, which were as large as volcano craters, and locked its gaze firmly in Mina's direction.

Those enormous eyes were filled with flames.

He wanted to teach this arrogant little reptile a lesson about the price of provoking him!
Flames roared and erupted, sending a terrifying shockwave sweeping out and crashing towards Mina.

But the little cutie next to Mina simply raised his hand. At this moment, the little guy had transformed into An's appearance. In his hand was a huge blade, and the blade made of starlight cleaved down.

The terrifying, magma-like flames were actually cleaved in two by that enormous blade.

The flames and scorching air currents parted around Mina and the three little creatures without causing them any harm.

The little firebird fluttered its wings, looking at the flames not far away, and... it was very hungry.

It really wanted to taste the flames.

Mina noticed the little guy's expression. This flame body...?

However, the thought only flashed through my mind for a moment before quickly shifting to the enormous monster below.

Little Mengmeng's Starfire Blade is not the original version after all.

Being able to break through the fiery breath is already quite remarkable.

Our little cutie has also achieved combat power comparable to a half-step Star Glory.

"Squeak squeak~"

Seeing Xiaomengmeng's performance, Mi Xiaohu finally couldn't sit still any longer. He swayed his body, wagged his tail, and rushed out.

The seven-tailed creature transformed into a streak of lightning in mid-air, hurtling downwards at incredible speed. It even drew a graceful arc in the air before crashing down upon the colossal object.

Even if Mi Xiaohu were to activate her full form, she would only be about 1.2 meters tall, making her look tiny in front of that colossal creature that was tens of meters tall.

The Fire Earth Turtle, which had only felt anger, suddenly trembled, especially when Mi Xiaohu's magic and elements were all activated, and her seven tails stood up, unifying all the elements.

The fiery tortoise actually sensed the threat of death.

The terrifying force pierced directly through the neck of the enormous creature from top to bottom.

Flames mixed with blood sprayed out.

The Fire Tortoise's body trembled; such terrifying lightning strike force had actually injured it!

If the skull were to be pierced again, his life would be in danger. However, the vitality of a half-step Star-level monster should not be underestimated.

Even if the neck is pierced, it is only an injury and not fatal.

But, in the next moment, Mina appeared above the fiery tortoise.

It landed right near the wound that Mi Xiaohu had pierced.

A black sphere had appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

It exudes a rich aura of starlight. This is the second form of the Mina Starfall Technique, which is also a Star Gathering Technique combined with Meteor Shower—a small gadget obtained by stacking, compressing, and condensing several Starfall Techniques together.

It's fairly sturdy and explosion-proof, but it requires a little bit of high temperature to detonate, like... a single spark of fire.

Mina's other hand ignited a terrifying flame, which he pressed directly onto the compressed meteorite.

"Squeak squeak!"

Upon seeing this, Mi Xiaohu immediately rushed back to Mina's magic sea. Mina didn't even look at the result and rushed out directly.

At this moment, starlight surged across the body of the Fire Earth Tortoise.

A few breaths later, the roar and starlight illuminated the entire sky.

It also illuminated the void emblem in Mina's arms.
